Boulder, Colorado
Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in the heart of Colorado is a city like no other in the world. Boulder. What makes this community of almost 95,000 people such a special place is the unique quality of life its residents enjoy. Boulder brings together the features to accommodate a diverse array of individual lifestyles, cultural interests, business enterprises, and educational and employment needs. Besides its spectacular scenery, Boulder offers beautiful parks, mountain trails, a variety of visual and performing arts, unusual shops and restaurants, and our own neighborhood ski area, Eldora Mountain Resort.
Boulder balances a healthful environment with healthy economic and technological development. In addition to many small, entrepreneurial businesses, major employers include companies and federal research laboratories such as IBM, Ball Aerospace, the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Adding to Boulder's progressive spirit is the University of Colorado, the academic and cultural centerpiece of the community. CU has played a leading role in the city's rich historical past and today continues to enhance the atmosphere of higher learning, imagination and inspiration that exists here. Further, Boulder has one of the best primary and secondary school systems in the Rocky Mountain region.
Boulder Valley residents experience the four seasons. The year-round sun makes Boulder a haven for skiers, climbers, hikers, joggers, and lovers of meadows and panoramic views. The city's unique greenbelt system serves as both a buffer to preserve its picturesque setting and as an extensive park system. The beautiful climate in Boulder is most definitely a "drawing card" for area residents-to-be. The Colorado Climate Center of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Colorado State University, reports that the average number of sunny days amounts to 157, partly sunny days, 184, and only 84 cloudy days! The months of March, April, and October account for the most accumulation of snowfall for an average of 14.3 inches.
